6:16 pm
where it's not visible to the driver. >> now, again, these gps devices are mostly installed in cars if the owner has bad credit. the device's manufacturer says police can specifically track a vehicle if they wanted to, but dealers, they rarely if ever do. and this is not illegal. it is all authorized in the fine print. for the investigators, mitch blocker, nbc 10 news. count on nbc 10 as investigators piece together this abduction. visit nbc10.com for details on other crimes police are linking to barnes. you'll also find a timeline of how police gathered their clues. a special 4-year-old makes a journey from our area to cincinnati to watch her dad play football in person for the first time. >> leah still's dad is devon still of the cincinnati bengals. these are new pictures devon posted. she's been getting treatment for cancer at children's hospital of philadelphia but she was able to
